Battery boost for the 1988 Audi 5000
Your 1988 Audi 5000 needs battery service? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
About your 5000
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. If you have the service history of your 5000, have it ready for the shop. Power: the 2.2L 5-cylinder turbo; drive: front-wheel drive.
What to send us
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
What to ask
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Small things that help
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
